Admittedly, I did not realise this was the child friendly version of a much longer, more in depth version, when I started it. 
This very short, whistle stop tour though the highlights of Black British History was interesting though. It's written in a very accessible way and I absolutely recommend it to younger audiences or even older audiences who are looking for an accessible start to researching Black British History.

This was very interesting! It’s the type of book I’d been looking for for a long time, to try to clear up some of the questions I had regarding race. I think it definitely helped me to understand a little bit better, but it was very heavy, I found it a difficult read. I'm now working my way through the accompanying documentary.

A engrossing account of history that both shames and enrages. A heavily worded tome to incrementally balance the limited exploration of the history of life in and around Britain.
